For you crusty old timers (and you know who you are), it's that time of year again.
For you newbies who don't know what this is, here is how it works. You announce to the world in this thread that you intend to play. Then you MUST PM me your name and address. We, Taylor and I, draw names to pair or group up players. You will receive a name and address from me via PM on or around Dec 1. You research that person, go buy a gift, and send it to them postmarked by Dec 10. Patiently wait by your mailbox to receive your gift (I sent your name and address to someone else who researched you, bought you a gift, and mailed it to you before Dec 10.) You can open it when you want but you must post pictures of the loot for all of us to see.
Last Years Loot Thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/128048-fds-5th-annual-fishmas-loot-thread/?hl=%20fd#39;s fishmas
Here are the RULES, If you don't like them, to bad.
You MUST be over 18 to play.
You MUST have over 200 meaningful posts and be reasonably active on the forum. (I decide what is meaningful and reasonable)
You MUST proclaim your intent to participate in this thread prior to Thanksgiving Day.
You MUST send me a PM with your Name and Address prior to Thanksgiving Day.
Minimum gift amount is $25. Maximum is up to you but don't expect to get more than $25.
You may or may not get the name of the person sending your gift.
You will get a return PM from me before Dec 1 with the name and address of the person you are buying for.
You MUST send the gift prior to Dec 10.
You may open the package when you get it or wait to Xmas.
I will periodically post a list of official participants on this thread. It is up to you to check back after you send your PM to make sure you are on the list.
A separate thread will be started to post pictures of the loot you received.
Let the fun begin.

Ok, everyone on the above list should have a name and address in your PM box. Get busy researching and buying and shipping. This is the fun part. You will learn a lot about the person you got and I feel this brings us all closer together.
You did not get the person who is buying for you. It was completely random except I made sure BeckieC and BassnChris did NOT get each other. I'm sure she is sick of him and can't wait to shop for another man

That about sizes it up nicely.
OK, mine is headed towards Texas!
Sent mine out to OKC yesterday!
I left mine on the shipping desk Wed. Wondered why I never got a shipping ticket with tracking...
Pack and Ship guy over looked it. DOH!!!!!
Going out today. Sorry, always remember, if you want something done right... Do it yourself.
Mine was shipped out the other day.
Mine went out on the 10th and is scheduled to be delivered To-Day ~
